Together with my brother I've been working on our little passion project "Nations Online" (still very early stage). The goal is basically a decent Civilization-like game that runs in the browser and on tablets with improved and larger scale multiplayer (at least up to 32 players) and 3D graphics. It was mostly born out of frustrations with Civ 5's slow and buggy multiplayer mode.

The server is based on Scala & Akka, the client is plain JavaScript and WebGL/ThreeJS.

For early stage it looks pretty good! Would move to see it completed. It suit Civ style play particularly well if it could be set up to notify everyone when it was their turn (similar to how some online chess apps function).
Thanks, we definitely plan notifications via email and if possible other messenging services.
